Chapter 1Divorce Day, Typhoon Night

Next Chapter

The continuously high temperature is miserable, and the combination of no wind and no rain with high temperature and low humidity forms a natural dry steaming effect. People along the coast know that this is the prelude to the landfall of a typhoon. But even so, his emotions were still uncontrollable and inexplicably anxious for a few minutes.

This day is Monday, and Chen Dainan, who will never rest on Monday, resolutely asked for leave, and took Yan Sheng to the Civil Affairs Bureau early in the morning to go through the divorce procedures.

After surviving the queue and the long persuasion process, Chen Dainan had already arrived at dinner when he got the divorce certificate as he wished. Before she could get out of the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, she was urgently summoned back by her parents' phone. Although she had been prepared, when she actually faced it, her heart still tingled for a while.

The air pressure outside the house was getting lower and lower, and the dark clouds finally began to slowly envelop and bring with them a burst of hot air.

However, compared to the low pressure outside, the air conditioner inside is more suffocating.

Chen Dainan sat quietly on the sofa in the living room like a dead wood, silently listening to the abuse of her parents and her younger brother and sister. In order to prevent her from divorcing, even her younger brother and younger siblings deliberately took half a day off. Fortunately, she was prepared, even Yan Sheng didn't know that she was determined to divorce, and made a plan for this.

The four of them took turns bombing for more than an hour, but Chen Dainan didn't even snort. Father Chen finally couldn't bear to get up from the chair, walked up to Chen Dainan, condescendingly, and asked angrily: "I'll ask again, will you ever remarry?"

Chen Dainan raised her head, looked back at Chen's father expressionlessly, and replied resolutely: "No." ”

Smack-

Father Chen raised his hand and slapped him hard, which made Chen Dainan's eyes dizzy and tinnitus, while the other three watched coldly from beginning to end.

Chen Dainan slowed down and asked indifferently, "Is there anything else?" I'll leave if it's okay." ”

Seeing this, Chen's father grabbed Chen Dainan's arm and dragged her out, and continued to scold viciously while dragging her, "You get out of here! The Chen family doesn't have such a shameful daughter as you! If you walk out of this house today, it will have nothing to do with our Chen family in the future, and we won't take a look at you even if you die on the side of the road in the future!"

"Okay, I remember. Chen Dainan nodded and walked away quickly, deaf to the few roars coming from behind him.

Walking into the elevator, tears slipped down instantly. Chen Dainan wiped her hand casually and decided to go back to work.

She has been working part-time and full-time at the Westwood coffee chain for 10 years, and now she is the intern manager of the new store, and she can become a full-time store as long as she passes the assessment period. Losing her marriage and relatives, she can't afford to lose her career anymore, and she still has on her shoulders the stray dog rescue base that she and a few like-minded partners have set up with great difficulty.

Probably due to the imminent landfall of the typhoon, there are many takeaway orders, and only a few customers come to the store to consume.

The clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and the hot wind with a hot and humid air was getting stronger and stronger.

For safety reasons, when the number of takeaway orders gradually decreased, Chen Dainan also successively asked the staff in the store to leave work early, and finally left only two employees who lived closer to him to guard the store with him.

If the head office did not notify them, they could not close their doors early. However, in case of special circumstances, the staff arranged for her, the intern store manager, to operate independently.

At six o'clock in the evening, strong winds and torrential rain swept in, and the sky was completely dark.

Seeing that the wind and rain were getting more and more violent, and the rain was beating on the doors and windows of the hall one after another, Chen Dainan closed the takeaway platform. Considering the traffic problems on the road, the two employees who were guarding the store with him also got off work early. The head office has still not issued a notice, and the store still cannot close early. There is no customer in the store now, and she can take care of it by herself.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the head office finally issued a notice to close the door in advance and prepare for typhoon landfall protection.

Close the electric switch and airlock, confirm that there is no water seepage at all entrances, and then check back and forth four or five times, Chen Dainan is ready to go home from work.

However, she discovered a very serious problem, all the umbrellas borrowed from the store were borrowed, along with her own umbrella. She had to get home before the typhoon made landfall, or she would have to spend the night in the store.

When the outer clouds of the typhoon made landfall, there would be intermittent pauses in the wind and rain, Chen Dainan found an opportunity, put his backpack on his head and rushed straight to the subway station 100 meters away. At this time, the rain was not very heavy, but the wind was too strong, and the direction of the wind was uncertain and unruly.

By the time Chen Dainan rushed into the underground passage of the subway station at full speed, his clothes and hair were still inevitably soaked.

This is not a big deal, she worries that the buses and taxis may be out of service after getting off the subway. She now lives in a remote area, and needs to transfer to a bus when she gets out of the subway station. Because of the divorce, she was more anxious when looking for a house, and out of secrecy and rhythm, she naturally didn't have any better choices.

On the day of the divorce, he made himself so embarrassed, if Yan Sheng knew about it, he didn't know what he would laugh at. But compared to the scumbag who has been married for only two years and has been cheating for more than a year, it really doesn't matter if the typhoon blows a little wind and rain.

The subway was much emptier than usual, and when Chen Dainan got out of the subway station, she met an aunt who sold umbrellas, and bought a big umbrella with some pain.

Sure enough, the buses are out of service.

Chen Dainan walked all the way in the direction of home, and walked for nearly half an hour without seeing a taxi.

The wind and rain intensified, severely stumbling on the speed at which she could travel.

Walking to the intersection, the red light stopped Chen Dainan's footsteps, and she took the opportunity to adjust the posture of the umbrella and backpack. Wait until the red light turns green, and check left and right before raising your leg and walking onto the crosswalk.

Unexpectedly, a powerful whirlwind swept by, and the umbrella in Chen Dainan's hand suddenly turned up, she couldn't take it off guard, her body was dragged by the umbrella, her feet stumbled and tripped over each other, and suddenly the whole person fell heavily on the crosswalk. Fortunately, the handle of the umbrella is in the shape of a hook, otherwise it would have flown away.

Chen Dainan didn't bother to get up from the ground first, hurriedly closed the umbrella, and used it as a crutch to get himself up. However, the wind and rain were so strong that she struggled for a while before she could get up on her hands and feet in an extremely embarrassed position.

Almost as soon as she stood up, the green light flickered and turned red. Immediately afterward, a burst of flickering high-beam headlights came closer.

Chen Dainan only felt that his brain was blank, and he jumped back completely out of instinct, and then fell to the ground again.

Whewβ€”

Followed by a sharp and piercing brake sound, a black off-road car turned hard in front of Chen Dainan's eyes, and then hit a thick banyan tree on the side of the road with a loud bang.

Chen Dainan, who was lying on his back, was directly frightened, and his body trembled wildly.

The situation of the SUV was obviously not rosy either, with a wisp of white smoke rising from the front of the vehicle, and you could smell burnt through the heavy rain.

After a while, the car door was pushed open, and a tall man staggered out of the car with his head in one hand and the doorknob in the other.

I don't know if it was the blood from the injury, or the red light at the back of the car, it looked like the whole person was red, as if there was a lot of blood.

Chen Dainan was frightened again, and her mind cleared up slightly. Hurriedly got up from the ground, ran over with an umbrella.

"I'm sorry, you're not hurt!"

Hearing Chen Dainan's voice, the man immediately turned his head and glared at her with resentment on his face, and in the next second, he froze with his mouth open, and the expression on his face changed from angry to unbelievable, and finally slowly turned into calm.

"Sir, are you ...... Are you okay, are you injured?" Chen Dainan was inexplicable, the person who ran the red light was not her, and the car was driven so fast in such a big wind and rain, even if it would not endanger others, his own life would be greatly threatened.

"I didn't ...... I don't know, I feel dizzy, my stomach hurts very much, you come with me to the hospital and accompany me for a check-up. ”

The man seemed to subconsciously want to say, 'It's okay,' but the next moment he changed his mind.

"This is as it should be. Chen Dainan observed the other party's expression, "But I work in a coffee shop, and the salary is not high." The other party's attitude does not seem to give up easily, but she neither ran a red light nor jaywalked, and the responsibility is not on her.

The man was obviously stunned, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I have to call someone to deal with it first, but with such a big typhoon, people can't get there so quickly...... I'm afraid that something will happen to me, so I want to ask you to take care of me. Then he thought of something, and then added, "My family is out of town, and I have no relatives or friends around." ”

"Oh, I see, okay, no problem. Chen Dainan breathed a sigh of relief, "I misunderstood you, I'm sorry." ”

"It's fine. The man smiled and shook his head, flipped out his mobile phone from the car, and led Chen Dainan to the sidewalk.

Chen Dainan held an umbrella and tried her best to shield the man from the wind and rain. Compared with the height of a man, she is really at a loss because of her petite size. However, in order to express her apology, she was also afraid that the other party would suddenly fall to the ground, so she could only ignore herself first.

After Hua Rui made the call, he noticed that Chen Dainan was holding an umbrella with difficulty and was brought by the storm, and the whole person looked a little shaky, "Let's take the umbrella." As soon as he reached out and took the umbrella, his head was suddenly a little dizzy, and he accidentally took Chen Dainan into his arms. Sensing that she was slightly startled, she immediately explained, "I'm sorry...... Can you hold me up? I'm a little dizzy. ”

"It's okay, you can rely on me. Hearing this, Chen Dainan immediately supported Hua Rui's waist and body, and looked left and right anxiously, but don't fall.

The ferocious typhoon carried the rain and raged in the air, and the noise was deafening.

After being silent for a while, Hua Rui suddenly spoke: "My name is Hua Rui, what about you?"

Chen Dainan thought that he had heard it wrong, and was slightly stunned for a moment before replying: "Ah? Chen Dainan." The Dai of Fandai, the Nan of Nanmu. ”

"I am the wise one. Hua Rui seemed to be amused, and his voice was mixed with laughter.

Chen Dainan didn't say anything, and there was silence between the two again.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry, I'll let the driver take you home first after I finish the inspection." Seeing that Chen Dainan had been stretching his neck and looking around, Hua Rui said a word of reassurance.

Hearing this, Chen Dainan couldn't help but glance up at Hua Rui and replied, "I'm not worried about this, I'm afraid that something will happen to you." ”

Hua Rui smiled and didn't speak again, but gradually used some strength to hold Chen Dainan's arm.

The two men stood on the side of the road and waited for nearly twenty minutes, and it was late for Hua Rui to call for him. A car, a trailer. The car went around and stopped on the side of the road at Hua Rui and Chen Dainan Station. Two people got off the trailer that came with the car, took pictures, and after doing it themselves, they towed Huarui's off-road vehicle away.

At this time, Hua Rui and Chen Dainan were already extremely embarrassed, and the two of them got into the back seat one after another, and when Chen Dainan saw in the rearview mirror that he was a hundred times more miserable than a soup chicken, he suddenly felt a faceless mood.

Hua Rui handed a dry towel to Chen Dainan and introduced, "This is my assistant, Xiao Jiang." After speaking, he said to Jiang Lei, who had been observing Chen Dainan through the rearview mirror: "This is Miss Chen." ”

"Hello Miss Chen. ”

"Hello. ”

Chen Dainan and Jiang Lei nodded to each other and said hello, and then one concentrated on driving, and the other concentrated on wiping his hair.

I don't know if it's because of the heart or something else, Chen Dainan always feels that Jiang Lei always seems to look at her through the rearview mirror along the way. Wu thought about it for a while, and felt that he should be too careful, he was probably just checking the road conditions at the back of the car, driving in this kind of weather, it is natural to be more careful.

It was not too far from the place of departure to the nearest people's hospital, and in only a quarter of an hour, the three of them entered the emergency hall.

The medical staff are all sticking to their posts, but the number of patients who come to the emergency department in this weather is significantly rarer. From registration to medical consultation, to issuing an order for examination, there is no need to queue at all.

Warray did a full-body C,T, and it turned out that everything was fine. It was only at this time that Chen Dainan was completely relieved.

Leaving the hospital, Hua Rui asked Jiang Lei to send Chen Dainan home first. After that, he proposed to exchange phone numbers with Chen Dainan to avoid handing over any problems with the police.

In this regard, Chen Dainan is naturally very cooperative. Besides, although it was a bit of a toss-up, it was a little lucky to take someone else's free ride home compared to the cruel fact that she actually had to brave the storm and walk for an hour or two to get home.

Through the hazy car window, seeing Chen Dainan's faint figure in the wind and rain, Hua Rui suddenly opened his mouth and said, "She is a bit like Qin Yu." ”

Jiang Lei raised his eyebrows, and when he heard the sound, he also looked in the direction where Chen Dainan left, and replied after a while: "It's a little ...... The kind of ultra-low-spec version?"

"Let's go. Hua Rui smiled and closed his eyes tiredly.

Jiang Lei glanced at Hua Rui from the rearview mirror, silently started the car, and slowly drove away at a steady speed.
